Mother.

My mom is the best mother I know. This picture is the worst of both of us but it's the only one from her recent visit. Sacrifices have to be made. There are so many admirable qualities that mom possesses. The one that sticks out in my mind is her willingness to serve. She is always helping with something. Sometimes it's offering good advice, cleaning your fridge, carpets, upholstery, finishing your sewing projects or baking cookies with your children. Everyone who has the pleasure of being around her immediately likes her. Her students have voted her teacher of the year multiple times probably because they too feel her love and service for them.

It is such a privileged to have a woman like this as your mother. Lucky me.
